Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the effect of the 7th grade 'Cell and Divisions' unit of the science course with augmented reality technology on the academic achievement of the students. The study group of this research, which was prepared in the "pretest-posttest control group" quasi-experimental model, consists of 79 students in the 7th grade attending a public school in the Antakya district of Hatay province in the 2017-2018 academic year. There are 40 students in the experimental group and 39 students in the control group. While the "Cell and Divisions" unit was taught to the experimental group students by using active learning, technology-centered and internet interactive learning methods with augmented reality applications, the control group students received regular education in line with the program. The application was completed by the researcher within 16 lesson hours. The "Cell and Divisions Achievement Test" (CDAT), which was used as a data collection tool and for which validity and reliability studies were conducted, was administered to both groups before and after the application. In the analysis of the collected data, dependent and independent t-tests from statistical procedures were tried to be analyzed using SPSS 21 package program. At the end of the evaluation of the data; it was concluded that the academic achievement of the students in the experimental group was significantly higher than the students in the control group and the effect size was calculated intermediate level effect. It is thought that the use of augmented reality applications in science courses may have positive effects on students' achievement.
